What's new in eZWeather 1.8.0.7
Oct 12, 2016
- fixed broken functionality;
New in eZWeather 1.8.0.5 (Apr 23, 2014)
- fixed images on main interface;
New in eZWeather 1.8.0.3 (Apr 23, 2014)
- added some errors treatment when setting YM status, ie: if you don't enable automatic login for at list one time, a registry key doesn't get created and status.dll won't be able to find your user to change the status; also if you have more users, please be sure to enable automatic login for your last logged user; pressing Ctrl+Shift+comma will force showing the error box; more, for the status changing to work with yahoo, you must manually set at least one status msg;
- added language switcher; please note that eZWeather doesn't support those UTF8 encoded strange language characters in non-Unicode build version; so if you want to see letters in those languages, you must install Unicode version of eZWeather.
- found a way to get the old weather iconID to show in tray icon tool-tip;
- the temperature unit it's added dynamically after the degree value...ie -1C or 28F, depending on your settings (watch window title);
- built a unicode version which can display the wide chars (Asian, Arabic languages etc) in eZWeather's title bar/tooltips; updated the status.dll in order to set correctly Unicode statuses in Y!M (again those Asian, Cyrillic,etc); this Unicode version seems limited to W2k or later;
- updated the installer to support Unicode/non-Unicode versions of the program;
- fixed a nasty bug when the tray icon rectangle detection causes the program to hang on a black tray icon due to a slow GetPixel() api when Aero theme is enabled;
New in eZWeather 1.8.0.2 (Apr 23, 2014)
- fixed the web control borders (implemented IDocHostUIhandler); click open links in an external browser rather than the hosted control; also the hover looks now like genuine :) ; however, this requires a decent version of msie installed;
- please note that City name must contain only characters which can be used in URL address, since accuweather uses that name; sometime the description found after "automatic search" shows strange chars "PetreÅŸti, Romania" instead of "Petresti"; this is because that text is UTF8 encoded by google instead of "Petreşti"; you could leave it like that or edit it; however, trillian knows converting that utf into a normal text so in trillian you will have the correct text (with diacritics : ş,ţ,ă or other special characters etc);
- the temperature unit it's a compromise since the link can't let me set directly the unit like in the past; however I did a hack but you'll have to monitor the unit and change it as you want;
- the download progress control it doesn't work since the accuweather doesn't report anymore the HTML filesize, so I stopped showing it;
- added msie ver in aboutbox; fixed some stuff around tray icon/balloon; fix 4 not saving checkbox state in options, and an error...path not found if dir for database file doesn't exist;
- updated the status.dll also; added more checks on yahoo versions in order to add later support to the newest y. ver...after 9.x;
New in eZWeather 1.8.0.1 (Apr 23, 2014)
- the way new accuweathear site looks now make me made some major changes inside the program;
- not all feature works now, like setting the measure unit formats, graph, tray balloon with no icons (new format doesn't offer a way to get the weather icons) and detection of balloon location causes a black rectangle icon for a moment on Vista or higher.etc.
New in eZWeather 1.6.0.2 (Jun 4, 2009)
- a small modiffication inside status.dll to support to yahoo messenger 8.x;
- added support for trillian astra (alpha build 78); you should check "trillian 4 support" option; do not not use %U% option with astra because astra bans my url inside its status text.
New in eZWeather 1.6.0.1 (Jun 4, 2009)
- fixed tray icon not showing after restarting explorer.exe;
- the main problem till this version was memory leak problem; runned nonstop for 1-2days the program constantly expanded in memory due to mshtml parser which is a bad thing made by m$; I've gave up using mshtml and spent few days with the adaptations of some sourcecode I found, which handles html parsing;
- i've set the status to be changed 20 seconds after trillian is detected hoping that this will avoid some crashes inside trillian's yahoo.dll but unfortunatelly didn't;
- fixed also the "details for [1-15]" page which was changes on the server side and didn't worked
- flagged eZWeather as Freeware, added a license file, and made a setup for easy instalation;
New in eZWeather 1.5.0.1 (Jun 4, 2009)
- a quick fix and it's back to work; during last year it worked quite well showing weather conditions to my trillian friends; all know me now like the "weather man" :)
New in eZWeather 1.4.0.1 (Jun 4, 2009)
- friendly names (city,country) mapped when location selection is made from search dialog;
- added support for US zipcodes via search;
- searched locations can now be saved for later use; it will be inserted inside city listbox next time eZe starts;
- aded nice tooltip on tray icon (see image); tooltip images are stored inside imgdefault dir where eZWeather is installed; you may replace it with new ones; format accepted .bmp/.gif/.jpg;
- new option for away message format: %D% (current weather Description like "snow/fog")
